There are thousands of musical forms in existence in
2100. New fashions in music appear and vanish as quickly
as fashions in any other area. In the Fifth Wave nations,
some of the more enduring forms include:

'''Greek Fire:''' A subset of world music (see below),
based on traditional Greek folk music with a heavy infusion
of neo-pagan and Transhumanist themes. Greek Fire
was an extremely popular style throughout Europe and
the Americas during the 2060s and 2070s, as part of a
general surge of interest in ancient Hellenic culture. It is
still heard worldwide, although it has slipped considerably
in popularity.

'''Microtonal:''' The foremost new musical style of the
21st century, microtonalism makes heavy use of quartertone
or even smaller intervals between notes. The style
also relies on the deliberate production of overtones, and
uses notes outside the range of conscious human hearing.
Many younger people, especially those influenced by
Transhumanist thought, have seized on the style as their
own. Microtonalism had a brief “classical” era in the
2030s, centered around a school of formal composers
who developed the style while collaborating across the
web. Today the style has broad influence in all areas of
formal and popular music.

'''Neoclassical:''' Primarily nonvocal, using classical
Western instruments along with a discreet selection of
synthesized sounds. Purists repeat performances of Western
classical music dating back to the early 1900s or further.
Some modern composers work more or less in the
classical style (complete with three-part structure and
polyphony) but create diverse new pieces.

'''Rock:''' The popular music of the late 20th century still
survives, along with associated styles such as blues, country,
and jazz. For many citizens this style derives from the
“rock revival” eras of the 2020s and 2070s. Many of the
super-elderly still cherish the original style, however, and
sponsor its occasional reintroduction into the cultural mix.

'''Soft-Edge:''' Popular among young people, this style
emphasizes fluffy ballads, subtle instrumental passages,
and (in performance) sophisticated visual effects. A related
style, hard-edge, uses more emphatic rhythms and
incorporates elaborate dance into its performance.

'''World:''' A catch-all term for “imported” music, usually
from developing nations which still have a tradition of
live performance. Encompasses a whole range of substyles,
each based on a specific ethnic tradition. In the
United States, Maori and West African styles are popular;
various Arab, East African, and South Asian styles are
common in Europe.
